Little Jazz Carols

for SATB and piano, with optional bass In Little Jazz Carols Chilcott brings his successful choral jazz style to the Christmas season. The flowing, hymn-like opening movement, 'Blessed be that maid Mary', is followed by the intimate ballad 'Balulalow', before the eruption of energy that is 'Ding-dong ding!'—a jazz waltz that thrives on syncopation and close harmonies. The voices are underpinned by a stylistic piano accompaniment that can be played as written or serve as a guide and a part for optional bass is also available separately. This vibrant collection reimagines familiar texts with fresh, jazzy spirit.
